We scheduled an induction today for pregnancy hypertension, I check in 5pm on Aug 2 (39w3d) and will get cervidil overnight to soften cervix. Then I guess pitocin starting on the 3rd.
I'm grumpy because it feels soooo far away. When she said I couldn't go past 39w at the latest I had 39w0d in my head aka July 30 at the LATEST 😢
My cervical check today indicated I was not effaced or dilated in anyway. She said I could start trying natural induction methods around 38 weeks. Those with experience, how much epo should I take & should I use it vaginally or take it orally?
Yeah so insurance doesn't have to pay for the pump in the unfortunate case that I have a stillborn. They verify with the hospital that there was actually a live birth. The rep actually told me this. BCBS

katelm I'm glad you have the date now, even if it's a little later than you were expecting. Also, that is really interesting about your insurance's policy...that seems like an annoying "to do" to think about when you have a newborn.
sadpanda Sigh, toddlers are tough. Mine didn't take a nap two days ago and also today...I am so tired and she is all over the place.
I rescheduled induction to Saturday, 8/6, at 8 PM. Hospital didn't give me any trouble about rescheduling...now to get through the next 23 days.

That is terribly..morbid? I get it saves them money, but it just feels weird, immoral almost.
Yeah it's weird, I actually have really top-notch insurance that even pays for things like infertility treatments and massages. So I was thrown off by this money saving technique. The rep insisted that the pump gets mailed to me very quickly. I have access to one through my doctor if I need one early on so it's not a huge deal but the policy is weird
DH is complaining that our bedroom is too cold at night we don't have AC and it's been in the 90-100plus everyday for a week. So yes I have two fans pointed at me and no they aren't getting turned off go get some more clothing if you are cold.
Every night DH tries to convince me to turn keep AC setting higher..I keep telling him anytime he'd like to carry this baby then we'll do that..until then I'm fine with a higher energy bill if it means I'm comfy. As it is I sleep barely covered!
The mail lady stood me up. Her punishment will be lugging my packages to the front door whenever she decides to return.
In other news, I ended up at Wendy's for a salad and somehow ordered a 4 for $4 instead. I asked for no bacon on my jr bacon (it works out cheaper than ordering a cheeseburger and a la carte-ing everything else). I get my order and there's bacon on. No biggie. I go inside to get it fixed. The convo goes like this:
Me: Hi. I was just in the drive-thru and asked for no bacon. There is bacon on my burger. Can I get a remake please?
Cashier: Well can you just pick it off? That's what we will do instead of remaking the whole thing. It's just bacon.
Me: Oh. Well the thing is, I'm Muslim and I'm not going to hell for your laziness. (<---that's oversimplified, but still)
Cashier: You don't look Muslim.
Me: You don't look stupid either so apparently we have both misjudged today.
At this point an employee that had been silently watching our exchange stepped in. "I'm Jewish. I totally get it. I'll remake it for you myself."

Any stm+ feeling like they have little patience for their kids right now? I'm not sure if it's me, the toddler, or both, but he is driving me insane. I feel bad because I want to enjoy these last days of him being an only child, but he is just being so uncooperative!
Unfortunately I've been guilty of snapping at DD..she's been having more tantrums in the evenings related to not being able to communicate what she wants or bc she's nearing 2 and wants to do everything by herself. Both reasons I find myself snapping then feeling terrible. And also feeling terrible bc after being on my feet all day I'm super lazy and need to sit down.
More toddler struggles here too. I'm just so tired to be fighting over things like how long we stand in the sun staring at the digger across the street. Doesn't help that my H is travelling for work.
dc2london you're horrible!!! Just kidding, this last trimester is dragging ass for everyone here!
I heard back from my OB's office earlier and I'm anemic so iron supplements and lots of red meat and dark green veggies in the meantime. Funny anecdote, my mom was anemic with me, but 36 years ago they told her to eat liver once a week. I'm glad I don't have to do that!
Also a WWYD, MH and I signed up for a newborn care class that were supposed to go to Saturday but I'm not in the mood to drive out an hour and MH won't drive anywhere near metro NYC so I'll be driving both ways. The thought of it makes me tired and cranky. So should we just skip it and hope someone teaches us how to change a diaper or should I just bite the bullet and go? Another option instead of driving would be taking a train and an uber to the hospital where the class is.
youdontsay, I felt like our "class" was a big waste of time, honestly. I'd probably skip it with the situation that you describe.
We released some functionality to our production environment tonight which meant I had to work late and test. And I'm always the one to break something. It's like magic. Im tired!

We took the girls to raft night at the pool tonight. I was so not looking forward to it, but it was great. DH can get in the pool now. DD2 can walk around in the shallowest part of the big pool and she had a blast when DH took her to the deep end. DD1 had fun on her raft. I enjoyed the floating and it helped my poor swollen ankles (which swell badly on work days when I'm just sitting, legs down, all day). So glad I drug myself there!
Huh - my Braxton Hicks have two choices: on or off. They don't go for a time, relax, then go again. Ha. Like, I'll walk somewhere and I'm in pain until I sit down again. It's grand! I look ridiculous when I walk, especially with all this new low back/hip/shooting down the legs pain.
